Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
这情绪跳来跳去的，开始还装装是正剧，后面全员喜剧人，表演课随便演，Lady Gaga 可以去演喜剧，不要尝试啥影后之类的。这歌单，感觉是抄我的。
我想导演这部片子就是对自己青春的缅怀吧，只是另一个主角视角缺位，故事太散，动机不明
Gucci家族生意史，以概括叙述，尽管两个半小时的电影，能看出省略的地方还是挺多的，不能算全面，但看下来是流畅的。故事中，这个漂亮女人一步步引导着男人依着她的欲求追逐。不甘于平凡，开始了欲念的前奏。欲望一点点增加，其所获变得不再平衡。最后由爱成恨，是循序渐进的过程。
拍的还是好看。一家子的傲慢与贪婪，最后落得这样的下场。gaga演的还不错，演出了意大利女人的彪悍。
后半段没提起来，可能是这个豪门恩怨实在是太无聊不配老雷头发力吧
将自己带入到两个角色观影，感同身受非常好看。大家打分都太过严苛。
很不电影、清新的滤镜用力过猛吧。导演两人一起负责了这部电影的剪辑，断断续续的破碎凌乱感太影响观感了。虽说是个普通的青春爱情故事，但最后婚礼那场戏还是看到哭。好评比较多的操场和浴室两场戏确实是整部片里的一个小亮点了。
你大爷的，这是你雷老头该交出的水准？
Gaga的演出油腻且表面，每次用力怒目圆睁的时候我总担心她的眼球会掉出来。
虽然剧情俗套是真俗套
4/10。以处女作来说，勉强算是完成了任务，但拍摄与剧作上的缺点必须要指出。首先滤镜实在太亮了，甚至有些泛白，还有下雨、沐浴的场景是否多了点？明白导演希望营造浪漫或落寞的气氛，但有些过了。剧作的问题更大，大量直观的旁白影响质感，电影同时是用来看、感受的，而不仅仅是听的。其次，不明白为什么要设立30岁再结婚这个期限，明明相爱，而且大学毕业后已经没有任何阻力（至少影片没有表达），为何要等到30岁呢？即便社会、家长不允许两人在一起，难道两人到了30岁就会允许了吗？
和GUCCI挂钩的是奢靡的金钱，那和GUCCI家族挂钩的则是物欲横流的金钱。金钱的欲望得到满足后不会停止，而是冲向更加欲罢不能的名利场，深陷其中也便忘了亲情、爱情和生命。
现实的压力跟社会的阅历，旁人异样的眼光，还是选择了大多数人的生活。
老鳖演温州女商真是活灵活现，莱托的角色真是想象不到，把原本的自己完全隐藏掉了，其他演员也都很出色，雷公一把年纪还能这样出片真的厉害，但看下来就结尾字幕一出一个没有古驰家族的古驰有点感觉，其他的看不出太多的作者思维，甚至流水化了
没有结构。也没有呈现变化。没有想法。
非常的Classic，in a good way，可能只有雷老爷子可以抵挡得住用悬疑和犯罪去类型化、刺激化这个故事吧，平铺直叙反而回味深长。喜欢配乐。不得不承认的是，表演上司机吊打我鳖，然后Jared Lato是从欢乐喜剧人来客串的吗可以拿个金酸梅了吧？
看过圣罗兰纪梵希的故事，然而这部古驰家族跟时尚毫无关系，一家子人都特别世俗没啥艺术气息……
两个女演员挺好的，很有青春气息，只是如果已经做出选择了，就别揪着过去不放了，让前任当伴娘这个挺残忍的。
女校过来人很难不产生共鸣，但整体节奏掌握不好，有些地方没铺垫好。很俗套但我还是哭成了泪人。
杨偲泳的学生扮相很纯净，教室与泳池的错位也很美，可是探讨的主题也太陈旧了，甚至连所谓的“压迫”也是凭空而来。剧情和转折都极其随意，甚至为里面的男性角色鸣不平。爱不是懦弱的遮羞布，对lgbt群体的关照也不应该成为剧情硬伤的借口。
